The Church Green in Warrington

Booked for a Sunday lunch for Husband and myself, service was impeccable, high standard and friendly too - table was ready as soon as we walked up to the front desk. Both had the beef feather blade roast and it was delicious - we arrive around 1pm and the place was already very busy, lovely atmosphere and christmas decorations are up - i would say it’s a beautiful pub refurbished to a high standard, will definitely be returning 😃

Threw a baby shower breakfast for 12 people this morning at the Church Green. So happy, we had a great time. All the staff were so accommodating and helpful with everything especially with such a big table. Extra thanks to Will, chef and Alison! Our breakfast was gorgeous!

Great food lovely staff. All round fantastic

A superb pub/restaurant and event venue, serving high quality food - hosted by a wonderful team! Whether you’re looking for an intimate pub meal, a group dinner, or a private event setting, I couldn’t recommend The Church Green highly enough. It is relaxed and unpretentious, with an excellent menu and genuinely lovely staff. Will and Matt were warm, welcoming, and incredibly flexible when they hosted a private event for 150 of my family and friends. Nothing was too much trouble and they went above and beyond to ensure it was a success. The food was fantastic, and they tailored the menu to our needs, and the service team were friendly, professional and discreet. Can’t wait to go back again. Five stars all the way!

Lovely spot just by Lymm dam. Delicious food, helpful, attentive and friendly staff, and absolutely spotless. Varied menu with something for everyone, and generous portions. And dog friendly! We'll definitely be back.

Good pub lunch after a walk around the dam

I wanted to reach out regarding our recent dining experience at The Church Green on Sunday at 1:30 pm. I had reserved a table for four, including friends I hadn’t seen in some time and had introduced to your restaurant, hoping to enjoy a high-quality meal together. While our waitress was extremely polite and attentive, unfortunately, the food did not meet our expectations. We ordered two turkey roast dinners, which were served barely warm, with potatoes that were hard and lacking in flavor. By the time I was halfway through, the meal had become completely cold. My husband’s fish and chips were mostly greasy batter, and our other guest’s salad with anchovies was just edible. However, the hummus starter was lovely. I left without expressing my disappointment to avoid embarrassing our group or disrupting our meal with a re-heated plate or waiting for a replacement. Given that our bill was around £165, I had anticipated fresh, high-quality food as advertised. Regrettably, this experience has left me feeling let down, and I’m will not recommend The Church Green to others in my network. Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback. I hope it can contribute to maintaining the standards that guests expect from your restaurant. Christine Morley

We called into the Church Green on tuesday to meet some friends for drinks which was lovely,there was a great atmosphere and it was so nice to see Will again and his staff,we went back in the next day for a late lunch and we both had the curry which was excellent, its a fabulous place for drinks and food,a great couple of days had by all.

The food is the nicest food I have ever tasted, the staff are lovely and the owner could not be more accommodating…. I really recommend this pub to eat

Food basic. Nothing to write home about and not worth the money. Servers are lovely though

Always brilliant in here highly reccomend the waitress are absolutely brilliant owners are divine a real must in your diary

This used to be a Michelin star restaurant. Now it has an absolutely awful menu. It still has the remnant of a nice pub that has been left out in the cold. I don't know who wrote the menu but there is more choice in local chipy. Even what is on offer is just about average with above average prices. just doesn't ever warrant a 2nd visit. And it doesn't even have a good selection of beers. Don't even get me started on the gents toilet. Overall not a place I would recommend. hi It really is a shame. It could be a very nice restaurant. But not with the terrible menu on offer.

Tried their deli. The sandwich selection was tiny and overpriced for really simple options (ham & cheese only). The sausage roll was nice but the £5 pork pie was so mushy neither myself or my wife was able to eat it. Service was prompt and friendly.

Family decided to go out for a nice lunch and I was very impressed. The staff were welcoming and the food was top notch. I have had a few disappointing visits over the last couple of years so pleasantly surprised how the new management has brought back the quality and service. Kids ate everything so bonus points for that.

Gorgeous spot, with a lovely atmosphere and delicious food and drinks. Service was 5 star too! They had a quiz on which was so much fun. Will definitely return.

Really lovely location, set back off the main road. The outdoor seating area is well maintained and there are tiny fairy doors on the tree outside which is a nice little detail that kept our little one busy while we were there. Service was quick and although we only bought three drinks and a bowl of chips, we enjoyed all of it. We said we would go back and eat in the garden room next time because it looked really nice! We coupled this with a nice walk around the dam and the pub was really accommodating with our dog - the waitress even brought him a bowl of water over. We'll go back.

Poor service, long wait for food to arrive even though not that busy, got one order wrong, served soup but failed to bring a spoon, not good value for money.

Lovely food, great staff and dog friendly.

First time since it changed hands, the food is just as good as ever, we sat outside in the covered section which is well covered and has heaters if you get cold. Great choices of food and the deli is definitely worth a visit.

Great place for our family lunch. Catered for all of us... special needs diet, hungry kids, vegetarian, eat lots and plenty person... and the dog! Very happy!

Went back having been a regular previously. Impressed with new staff, food served hot , tasty and reasonable. Seems to have lost some of the ‘celebrity chief’ shine with a more basic menu , but was a very good standard. Suggest having a strong maitre de at the door to meet and greet, offer suggestions etc would enhance the experience. But defo 4/5 which will gwt better with time and experience. Better experience than Jolly Thresher and Barn Owl.

What a lovely surprise, I've not been here for years and used to practically live here in the 80s, staff were very friendly and attentive, food is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for guys, lovely environment, setting, food, staff and singer on at 8pm every Friday, what more could you want! To be polite and respectful works both ways, Highly recommended!

Gorgeous place, attentive staff. Our first time there. Food a bit expensive and uncle had a disappointing fish (EDIT - this was kindly removed from the bill at the time)... But the rest of the food was yummy. The garden is beautiful.... Will definitely go there again 😁😁😁

WARNING: no longer a child friendly place under new ownership Our recent visit to The Church Green was deeply disappointing and embarrassing. On a Friday sunny afternoon, we went with friends and our children, expecting a pleasant time. The kids (all aged 3-5) were innocently playing on the grassy area out the back, as they usually do, when they were approached by staff and they was first asked to stop climbing the big tree at the back and playing with the fairy doors which they did, despite us feeling like it was unnecessary as they were causing no harm. Shortly after, the children moved on and were approached again for climbed a small wall and playing hide and seek, and to our shock, without second warning we were asked to leave on behalf of the owners. This reaction was entirely uncalled for, especially since there were no signs indicating that children couldn't play in the garden. The previous owners always welcomed families, and our children have been used to playing in the outdoor grassy space, making this interaction both surprising and disheartening. We left feeling unwelcome and completely embarrassed, a stark contrast to the warm experiences we previously enjoyed here. I won’t be stepping foot in here again and am utterly shocked at how the staff have treated us, especially on a quiet Friday afternoon in the school holidays Also to mention my husband and I visited earlier in the week without children and didn’t have a particularly great experience either (both within the same week) Took ages to take our drinks order, they then forgot to bring them and when we got our bill we were overcharged for both of our main courses. Shambles, such a shame Edited: My response to the reply from management Hi, Thank you for your response and for clarifying the situation. While we appreciate your concern for health and safety, we must address a few points. As parents, we equally prioritise the well-being and respectful behavior of our children. At no point during our visit were we informed that our children were throwing stones at the property or causing damage. This is the first we are hearing of these accusations, and it is quite distressing. When the staff asked the children to stop climbing the tree, we immediately intervened and ensured they complied. We were not approached again or informed of any further issues until we were asked to leave, which left us feeling blindsided and embarrassed. Our children are only five years old and were simply playing, as children do. If there were specific concerns or incidents, we would have appreciated being addressed directly and treated like responsible adults. Children of that age do not act with malicious intent, and we believe the situation could have been handled more amicably with better communication. We value respectful interactions and would have preferred a more constructive approach to resolve any issues. If there are areas of concern regarding health and safety, it would be helpful to have clear signs or fencing around the tree to prevent climbing, and doors or signs in areas deemed unsafe to guide parents and children appropriately to avoid future incidents.

No longer child friendly under new ownership. We were told to leave because the kids were enjoying the tree and the grass. Another friend of mine was told to leave as their child was sitting on a wall. I do not advise you go here with children. If they don’t want kids to climb the tree they need a sign.

Great food and great service from Sam

Good food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff will definitely be back 🙂

Many thanks to Will and the team for a great meal to celebrate our son in laws birthday. Great food great service and great atmosphere. We will see you again soon.

First visit since new owners. Menu a bit eclectic but something for everyone. Only downside was that the fish (and and chips) appeared to have been salted before being battered.

Great food and drink brilliant customer service

Amazing food at a very reasonable price. Fantastic and efficient service. Lovely pub! Would recommend.

We had lunch here yesterday, the service was great, a really helpful lady from St. Helens - in fact all the staff were friendly. The food was great, the napkins with the food were much better than the usual thin paper ones and the hand paper towels in the ladies' toilet were (evidently) really good. A very well run pub. Bought a Cruffin and a Choc Brownie in the deli - the Cruffin was very different, but good, the Brownie is waiting to be eaten shortly!

Always go to the deli amazing home made food great owner always has time for a chat very friendly nothing is to much trouble one of my favourite place's to be rain or shine

Came here for a meal to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday. Despite there being 16 of us, the food came out together & it was hot. They even made a pizza especially for my very fussy daughter (which wasn't part of the menu) The staff were amazing & looked after us well. Thank you!

This place has been recently taken over by a member of the same family. The owner took the time to sit down with us and chat and send sushi tasters round which were delicious. Lovely pub inside and out with great service.

Food was really good, service was a bit slow and it was not really that busy, under new management recently so maybe just getting to grips with things. Nice location, we'll certainly be giving it another visit.

After a walk in the Lymm area, we only wanted a small meal, so we had several starters and a salad to create a tapas style meal. The wine added to the experience. The staff were very helpful without being obtrusive. The new owner was on hand to greet his customers. The atmosphere was excellent. The newly decorated premises were perfect. Try it yourself. We will go again after this first ever visit.

How times have changed! Two years ago my review was "Superb Eggs Benedict with their own cured ham. Pretty much perfect 👍" Today my son visited and also ordered Eggs Benedict, but was served with Eggs Derelict! A split sauce is unacceptable. No offer to replace and full price charged. Very poor See photo for quality of the dish served.

Popped in here for some lunch in May 24 . Good selection of drinks and food was very nice . A bit more than normal pub food price wise, but well worth it ! Limited parking outside, and can get a it busy at peak times so best to book ahead

Great stop on a bike ride for tea/coffee/ice cream etc. Decent choice, vegan options and locally made produce.

Stopped off here one Sunday whilst out on bike. Not the cheapest of places but all food was hand made and the service was excellent. Nice little stop, will go again when in area.

We grabbed a quick lunch here today under the new management, staff were friendly, service was very quick and the food lovely. Wishing the new team all the best!

First time here and the whole vista was fantastic. Only just found out the owners are leaving to pursue other opportunities. I wish who takes over from them all the luck we will return soon

My family and I took a drive up from Liverpool for my sons 15th birthday. After following Aidan for a number of years I knew that the food would be on point and we were not disappointed, every dish perfectly cooked and seasoned . We all had a starter main and dessert, the black pudding scotch eggs , wow !! For a 20 minute drive for us this will most definitely be a more regular thing for us. Thank you again and we will be seeing you soon.

I only went in for a drink and found staff very unfriendly and dismissive as if I were an inconvenience rather than a valued customer.

Met up with a friend for lunch at the Church Green Lymm. We both really enjoyed the ambience and food. My fish and chips were excellent 😋 with a great twist on mushy peas too. Will be back

Popped in for a pint of IPA and decided to treat the family to a meal here. Service is professional, polite, attentive and the food was good. My wife and I enjoyed the meal with our two young boys.

Second time visiting here. Food and service are excellent. Will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended 👌

From waiting at reception to being sat and served poor expected more from a mitchelin rated restaurant

Lovely food and a great location in Lymm

It's back! We've had some really great meals here over the years but during COVID we had a could that were a bit ho-hum so hadn't visited for a couple of years. But, this latest visit was great and I'm really pleased that the place has got back to the brilliant standards it had before. Great ingredients, really great cooking and perfect service. Well worth a visit.

Not been for a while superb food good for coeliac. Staff amazing 👏

Absolutely stunning. Relaxed atmosphere and surroundings with seriously good food. We were both totally blown away with the standard - this could stand proud among Michelin star restaurants. Amazing mix on the menu but even the most ‘standard’ of dishes are done with a twist. Simply cannot wait to go back, I actually had one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Amazing

Great lunch on 17.03.24. Tomato Arancini starter was lovely and my friends chicken parfait was spot on. The pie of the day was tasty and the staff were wonderful. Great sense of humour. Thanks for everything and we will definitely return 😊

Had lunch today. Ordered beef and Guinness pie. Unfortunately mine had way too much veg in it, over half the pie. Everyone else's pie was as it should be though.

Excellent. Food was delicious. Only criticism was the warm dessert served in cold dishes with cold custard? Will definitely return.

Excellent Sunday lunch, service very good, was fairly quite, but this was early evening

Fab people and great food all at great price

Lovely brunch for my mum's special birthday

Eaten here several times, constantly great. Recently tried the gourmet evening which is really good value

Great place, had lunch here and the food and service were both great. Also dogs are welcome too!

Lovely pub and deli, just up fron the resvoir. Helpful friendly staff 👌

Very friendly, 2 members of the party were delayed because of motorway accident, staff took this in their stride. Food very well prepared and nicely served

Our first visit and we had a great lunch. Excellent food and service.

Really nice pub with good service and nice food. Only reason it's not a 5 star is because if I'm paying £40 for a steak I don't want to then pay extra for some sides to make it a full meal. It's a nice treat but certainly not somewhere you could go every week.

We could only get a table outside on a rainy November Sunday due to poor planning on our part, but it was well worth it for the fabulous roast, one of the best I’ve had for a long time, and such friendly and professional service. Next time I’ll book in advance as inside looked very cosy. Big thumbs up from me 👍

Beautiful surroundings and next to St Mary's Church in Lymm. Lymm Dam being just a little further up. The ice cream was the best I've ever tasted, I chose Candyfloss. The Sausage roll had huge meat content and was fairly priced.

Good food, lovely atmosphere, friendly service.

Unfriendly rude, arrogant staff (family run) in the restaurant. The deli shop..£6.50 for a dry sourdough loaf., with so many good bakeries not too far away, I will NEVER go in this shop again. The shelves were virtually empty and in place some naff books. Looks like the place is on its last legs. Like to support local business but not at any price and without a smile.

Excellent place to eat. Great choice on menu and food cooked and prepared to perfection

Ice creams are yummy and coffee is good too

A lovely drink after a walk around Lymm Dam. Bright, airy pub with a great atmosphere.

We came along yesterday with our pooches after a stroll round the dam, as per our first date 1.5 years ago! As always we had the BEST time! The staff are brilliant, the atmosphere and comfort, and the food and drink are spot on! A particular shout out to ‘Dave’/ Francesca/ Davecesca for being so welcoming and great with our dogs. And also a huge thank you to the kitchen staff for doing us a special request - a side of Frickles!! The fries were sexy too! We will be back more now my broken leg is so much better the (only reason we haven’t been back regularly!). Many thanks and see you soon, Lou & Luke + Bella, Minnie, Ludo and Gizmo 😊💖

Visited Saturday evening 9 September for a special Birthday Meal on the invitation of friends. We received a warm welcome and was taken to a nice corner table at the top end of the restaurant. Our starter and main courses were all delicious and cooked to perfection. Service was efficient and attentative without being intrusive. Atmosphere and ambience was pleasant and relaxed. We had a very enjoyable evening. The Church Green is to be recommended. Many Thanks.

Had a roast dinner very basic 3 tiny roast potatoes and the gravy was like water no taste whatsoever asked me mint sauce and it was as if you had picked it from the garden yourself dry also no price menu for the roast dinner which I found odd as there was a menu for every think else my granddaughter had a browny and ice cream dessert £9 which I found expensive will not be returning

Tremendously average pub fare, in a mediocre atmosphere (full of old people but with terrible acoustic), and with the slowest and most inattentive service I've experienced in years. As me and my partner stood at the entrance, various waiters refused to acknowledge we were waiting to be seated; nobody else showed up, and a queue built up behind us. Eventually a guy scurried past, shouting "won't be a minute!" - except it was more like 5-10 before he came to confirm our booking and very unceremoniously dropped us at our table. He then instructed us to "ignore the first paragraph" of the menu, i.e. the lunch section - like we couldn't read. We ordered drinks, and one of them ended up being... just a glass of ice, due to a mix-up from a waitress who was clearly on her first day (on a Saturday night, really?); alerted of the error, they finally brought a bottle - which wasn't what we ordered but hey, at least it was something. Waiters would then just disappear constantly for extended periods, which was incredibly irritating as we were trying to order our mains and later pay the bill - we couldn't get ourselves to ask for desserts, as it had taken almost 90 minutes to have a single course. On a Saturday night, with half the restaurant empty, I wouldn't expect this sort of service from the local noodles joint, let alone from a place charging 17 quid for a burger. If it was a technique to get us to order more drinks, it backfired spectacularly. Thankfully "service is not included", so we weren't forced to tip, but we won't be back anytime soon.

We had an amazing Sunday Roast here, it was simply divine!! We were lucky to get one because I’ve heard these sell quick.

Had the best experience at the Church Green. The staff were very extremely friendly and food was delicious. We had a fabulous surf and turf burger. Our waitress, Sarah, was absolutely amazing and it was overall great value for money

Highly disappointed in food and service Waited an hour for a burger which was disgusting Hubby ordered a vegan meal as he is a vegetarian slapped a sausage and mash in front of him Service slow would not recommend

Went here for a family meal, the service was very slow, we were sat next to the door, which was constantly being left open by staff which made everyone cold, the pizza flavours were weird, not the usual Classics but the pizza bases were nice, we had an uncooked king prawn which we had to send back and they didn’t offer us anything in replacement though they did apologise, the coleslaw was absolutely disgusting I’m not sure what they put in it but we all tried it and agreed it was bad and a good note the sticky toffee pudding is really delicious.

Been coming here for a few years now, always look forward to go as we always have a lovely meal, menu changes/additions are always great and the service is spot on. The soups are always amazing! We feel this gives great value for money. Child friendly too.

Good decor, excellent food, friendly helpful staff

Burnt pizza from 'the shack' was inedible and thankfully removed from the bill when I took it back. Shack fries were delightful - spiced with paprika and plentiful. Wagyu burger and the ham, egg and chips both good quality and well cooked. The hispi cabbage was always going to be a bit try hard and it was, very small disc of bubble and squeak, lack of flavour to the cabbage and can no way be worth £17 a portion. Good beer, delicious gin and the staff were absolutely LOVELY. I was really surprised by the lack of buzz for a Friday evening but maybe we were too early. Let's call it a bit of a curate's egg this time.

Had a nice bread and olives with dip starter, really good value for money.

Utterly disappointing! Prior to booking I had researched local pubs with good reviews for Sunday dinner. When we arrived at 6pm we were told they were all sold out. The alternative menu was incredibly disappointing and unimaginative, considering the hype of the pub having a Michelin Star chef. Our group agreed unanimously we could have prepared the dishes better at home. To make things worse the carpets are grubby, the toilet floors slippery and the decor very uninspiring. Sorry Church Green, but you can do much, much better.

The food is always really delicious. Quality ingredients and interesting flavours. Service is friendly and welcoming. The Surf and turf burger is incredible 🤤and the hot Hawaiian pizza is a game changer. Portion sizes are large…I always leave stuffed. Yes it might be a touch more expensive than other places in Lymm but you really do get what you pay for here.

Outstanding food with outstanding service, thanks

Sandwiches hit the spot, dog friendly, premium service. Overall a pleasant experience. Thanks!

Traditional pub turned into a restaurant. Choice limited but different. Food quality and quantity good. Service, poor knowledge of wines but reacted positively to a complaint. Conservatory very warm and airless, very noisy.

Nice spot for a few drinks, loads of outdoor seating. We had a wood fired pizza which was really good. Good selection of drinks, well worth a visit.

It's a lovely restaurant in a great setting. The food was excellent quality and the staff were very helpful and friendly. I can definitely recommend this place. It's a gem of a restaurant and not far from the M6. So if you're travelling north or south on the M6 it's well worth a stop off. It's 5 to 10 minutes away at Lymm.

Food and service very good, but the outside was way too humid with it's plastic roof

Popped in for an impromptu lunch. Food was delicious. we will visit again

My wife and son went for the fish n chips... verdict ---- Probably the best fish and chips in the UK. Well made crunchy lite batter and fresh fish along with crunch chunky chips and nice sides.... I went for the burger, cooked well seasoned perfectly very tasty. Hit the spot! You pay for quality and get quality Chef level! Russ Love To Frame

Lovely little pub. The gentleman on the pizza bar was absolutely amazing. Great hospitality. Will definitely be recommending qnd coming back. Thanks for looking after me and my Daughter

First time in , also walked in ,not booked , brilliant staff, will be going back.x

The food here is always top class

Lovely pub. Had breakfast of mushrooms on toast. Very generous portion, though it had an unusual taste. Possibly fennel or chicory? Whilst not unpleasant it overwhelmed the mushroom flavour and not sure it's a flavour I want for breakfast. I did polish the lot off though. I love strong coffee but the coffee here was too strong making it bitter. Very friendly and efficient service.

First visit for me. With friends and just wanted a light lunch. We had toasted sandwiches and similar. Excellent and a little different. Had a real ale to wash it down and that was good also. Parking can be a bit of an issue. Worth a visit.

Good quality food and can recommend the Sunday roasts. The beef was excellent, but one of the party was a vegetarian and said the nut roast tasted like it had been deep fried. The only thing the really lets the place down are the toilets that need a deep clean.
